I spotted these Extralite bits on eBay, then managed to find the local seller on FB Marketplace. He gave me a good deal for taking both so I pounced.

Smash burger, not much to look at, but they’re legit.

05_42below
It’s raining all week, and I’ve got Hawk and Char in town so I made the decision to not ride, and instead eat and drink a lot (why not!).

06_glass
It’s Mia! Cute cat glass Gina got me in Italy. Char came over late (SO awesome to meet her IRL!), and I was pretty drunk at this point, so drunk I forgot to get a photo with her.

It’s been a great week! Gina and Shaun got back home from Europe on Monday, Nick is back from Shanghai and my good gaming friends Hawk from QLD and Chardae from NZ are in town! Adventure time!

S-WORKS Tarmac SL6 / 5.46kg!

wheeltest_sl6_wheelsfar_deder45
Wheels, tyres and chain on.

sworks_tarmac_sl6_5kg_weightweenie
5.46kg with pedals!

Just had to at least mock up the build whilst I’m waiting for a lower headset dust cover to replace the huge (and ugly) 20mm OEM dust cover.

Still to do:
– Brake cable inners and outers
– bar tape
– Ceramicspeed headset dust cover

04_wheelsfar_feder45_extralite

I put an order in on these wheels on the 2nd of October via the Wheelsfar web site. Turns out the Extralite hubs were on backorder, so my wheels weren’t going to be built until end of the month. It’s been a long wait, but the wheels came in today and they were packed well (box was in great condition) and the wheels look great!

Included in the package were some quick release skewers, full set of brake pads and some Extralite hub grease too.

Now I’m just waiting on a Ceramicspeed headset dust cover to come in from R2 Bike (parts in order also on backorder and order was put in on the 30th of September). That’s been shipped though, so once it’s in I can get on with the build!

Specs:
Feder Extralite hub tubeless wheel set 20H/24H
Model Number: Feder 45
Rim finish: 70% UD Matte (Satin Finish)
Sapim Sils Nipples: Black Alloy
Freehub: Shimano 10/11s
Spoke: Sapim cx-super
